BREAKING: Rohit Sharma Reclaims No.1 Spot in ICC ODI Rankings

Rohit Sharma is back on top and Indian fans couldn’t be happier right now. The Hitman just grabbed the number one spot in the ICC ODI rankings again. He pushed New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell down to claim his place at the summit.

The timing couldn’t get any better for the ex-captain before the South Africa series. India plays three ODI matches against the SA. This series will start on November 30 in Ranchi. Rohit Sharma walks in as the world’s best ODI batsman according to the latest rankings.

Rohit’s Australia Tour Did the Magic

The Australia series turned out to be golden for Rohit Sharma and his ranking points. He smashed runs left and right during those matches and collected 781 rating points total. Every innings showed why people call him one of the cleanest strikers of the ball.

Daryl Mitchell missed the last two ODIs vs West Indies. Those missed matches hurt his ranking. Eventually, he lost the top spot. You can’t stay number one if you’re not playing matches regularly in cricket.

Rohit Sharma proved once again why he’s such a special player for India. His name sits right at the top of the ICC ODI rankings.

Indian Batsmen Dominate Top Rankings

India has four players sitting in the top 10 list right now. Shubman Gill holds 4th place. He has been in his peak form for two years. Virat Kohli is at number 5. The KING is still going strong with the bat. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer holds the 9th position.

The Kiwi bowlers had a good time too after beating the West Indies in the series. Mitchell Santner moved to 6th while Matt Henry broke into the top 10 bowlers list. Sikandar Raza from Zimbabwe became the top T20I all-rounder at 39 years old incredibly.
